Maybe this is silly but I don’t get why specific car types were mentioned more than once? I don’t see how those details were central to the story 😂 but I’m not a car person so idk

There were a couple spots where it felt like "more" was needed to fulfill a particular storyline or character arc, which stopped me from feeling completely fulfilled. A character from early on reappears briefly in the second half
The ending is good but on the contrived side.
All that said, the book really was overall enjoyable.
There's multiple minor plotlines woven in that I loved, and a big theme running through it all of what it means to be human and a person and alive, and of joy and soul.
